Seven Dials and St Martin's Courtyard 20 Percent Traffic Free Shopping Night

As summer approaches and evenings become longer, indulge in some after-work shopping in Seven Dials. On Thur May 30 – for one night only – over 120 stores including Urban Outfitters, Orla Kiely, She Uemura and Twenty8Twelve will be open until 9pm. Do as the Italians do and take a passeggiata along the pedestrianised streets, slurping alcoholic ice creams from the Twisted Ice Cream Cocktail Parlour and tapping your toes to Lee Hume’s DJ set. There’ll even be a burlesque display from Coco De Mer where you can see sexy smalls modelled on contortionists. Ouch!
